In my new book, THE WAY OF THE FEARLESS WRITER, I discover and reveal the secrets to fearless writing (and living) that have been hiding in plain sight for over two thousand years.

As you travel with me on a sacred journey into the heart of writing, drawing on ancient wisdom from Japan and China, you will learn how the deep connections between mind, body, spirit, breath and words can help you access your true voice and release it onto the page without judgement.

This changes everything, believe me.

MUCH-LOVED EARLIER BOOKS

A UK and USA bestseller with over quarter of a million copies sold, Wabi Sabi: Japanese wisdom for a perfectly imperfect life has been translated into 24 languages. In it I share life lessons inspired by ancient Japanese wisdom, gathered throughout my twenty-year love affair with Japan. With roots in Zen and the Way of Tea, the timeless wisdom of wabi sabi is more relevant than ever for modern life, as we search for new ways to approach life’s challenges and seek meaning beyond materialism. It has been recommended in TIME Magazine, British Vogue and Psychologies Magazine among others, and Apple USA ‘must listen’ (audiobook) and was described as ‘a truly transformational read’ by Sunday Times Style.

For the past five years I have been working on the follow up to Wabi Sabi. It is called Kokoro: Japanese wisdom for a life well-lived and is available for pre-order now (Out April 4, 2024)

This is a book about Christmas. But it’s also a book about belonging, connection, self-care, joy and ordinary magic.

Calm Christmas and a Happy New Year offers inspiration for a new kind of holiday season – one where you radiate calm and cultivate delight. Spanning late November to early January, Calm Christmas embraces the festive build-up, the celebrations and the turn of the year in a holistic, nurturing way. Beth Kempton will whisk you away from the frenetic energy of the high street and invite you to come sit awhile by the fire, pausing to explore what a more mindful festive season could mean for you. Full of personal stories, tips and advice for slowing down, staying calm and connecting with others, it offers a welcome retreat from the pressure to create ‘the perfect Christmas’. At its heart Calm Christmas is about a book about wellbeing in winter, which will encourage you to use this time of natural hibernation to germinate new dreams and nurture a beautiful life in the year ahead. Instead of entering January exhausted, further in debt, and already regretting broken resolutions, you will begin the New Year with precious memories, feeling rested, rejuvenated and inspired. This atmospheric book will lead you through the darkness of winter, back to the enchantment of an authentic and meaningful Christmas and New Year.

Have you listened to the companion podcast, THE CALM CHRISTMAS PODCAST WITH BETH KEMPTON? It has been chosen as a favourite by Vanity Fair and the Radio Times and had over 100,000 downloads. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or on my website (with show notes) here. And it’s back on November 25, 2022!

I wrote another book. It’s becoming a bit of a thing. In this one I bring the past decade of experience helping people to navigate turbulent times in the lives, to this pandemic and the changes we are all experiencing. I hope it is a friend, which helps you find hope and emerge with new motivation and an even stronger sense of what really matters to you.
